Updated Workout Routine

This post is an updated version of my workout routine - I wrote one here (http://stayfitandtravel.blogspot.hk/2014/11/my-workout-routine.html) a few months back and that was when I was still in the earlier stage of BBG2.0 - my workout routine has changed quite a bit since a month ago when I started pole dancing, and together with the fact that I will be finishing BBG2.0 by the end of this week (YES I AM NOW ON WEEK24 :D!!! ALMOST DONE!!!) -I thought you might want to know how my new routine is like! (:

Hello emi! I love your blog and instagram! You look really amazing and you are definitely my inspiration; )I'm currently on BBG 1.0 week 2 and i just did my legs today...It was a killer...I couldn't do the jump lunges! It was just too hard for me! Did you have the same kind of problem that you could not finish some kinds of workouts because its simply too hard for you? and what did you do to cope with it? Thanks a lot xxxx

Hello Yuki! Thank you so much for the kind words! I also struggled a lot when i first started the BBG - you can find more details here in my blog post http://stayfitandtravel.blogspot.hk/2014/12/10-faqs-about-fitness-me.html (: hope you find it helpful! x

Hey Emi! Thanks to your blog I am inclined to begin heavy lifting. It is really helpful to see how you have progressed and increased your weight load. I was wondering if you can recall how many kg you started out lifting (for squats, bench press, deadlift, overhead press, and rows?). Also, are protein shakes essential? How much has protein shakes influenced the results you've achieved? Thanks for such as inspirational blog!

Hello! you can find out about the weights I use on my blogposts: http://stayfitandtravel.blogspot.hk/2014/11/my-workout-routine.html and also a more updated one: http://stayfitandtravel.blogspot.com/2014/12/updates-how-much-weight-i-use-in-my.htmlyou can also find the details of my protein supplement here: http://stayfitandtravel.blogspot.com/2014/12/protein-and-health-supplements-unique.html

Question: It seems to me you workout 7 days a week, with not a single rest day. Wouldn't this type of workout routine lead to injury of the joints and back???How did you manage to stay injury free?? I'm surprised you have remained injury-free.

First - this is not the most updated version of my workout routine and i no longer do this. You can find the most updated version in my other post.Second, injuries occur when you exercise in an incorrect form i.e. Wrong form of squats and etc. its not about the frequency you work out. Everyones body is different and how much you workout depends on your own strength and how active your body feels like. It is therefore no surprise that people who work out 7 days a week do not suffer from injuries as long as they know whats suitable for their bodies and know how to do each exercise in the correct form. Many of the exercises above are also optional, depending on my own schedule and how i feel that day.
